Mashed Cauliflower-My Low-Carb Answer to Mashed Potatoes

11/22/2019

0 Comments

 
I love to discover a delicous low-carb substitute for a favorite starchy or high-carb recipe. This mashed cauliflower is a delicious replacement for mashed potatoes. 

Mashed Cauliflower
Serves 6-8

1 medium head cauliflower, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
3 ounces cream cheese-full fat
2 tbsp unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup flat leafed parsley, chopped
 
  1. Steam the cauliflower and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the cauliflower and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the cream cheese and butter and mash with a potato masher or purée with an immersion blender.
  4. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

How So-Called “Healthy” Seed Oils Are Making Us Sick

11/15/2019

Article Link
"Experts have presented several dietary culprits as possible explanations for the rapidly rising rates of chronic disease in industrialized nations, including sugar and saturated fat. However, one commonly consumed food found in the diets of millions has received surprisingly little attention—industrial seed oils."

Remove these highly processed oils from your diet:
Soybean Oil
Corn Oil
Canola Oil
Safflower Seed Oil
Vegetable Oil


Contrary to what many health organizations have been telling us for years, industrial seed oils are not healthy foods. Rather, their consumption is associated with a variety of health problems.
​
Asthma
Autoimmune Disease
Cognition and Mental Health
Diabetes and Obesity
Heart Disease
IBS and IBD
Inflammation
Infertility
Macular Degeneration
Osteoarthritis

How Are Industrial Seed Oils Made?https://chriskresser.com/how-industrial-seed-oils-are-making-us-sick/

​
The general process used to create industrial seed oils is anything but natural. The oils extracted from soybeans, corn, cottonseed, safflower seeds, and rapeseeds must be refined, bleached, and deodorized before they are suitable for human consumption.
  1. First, seeds are gathered from the soy, corn, cotton, safflower, and rapeseed plants.
  2. Next, the seeds are heated to extremely high temperatures; this causes the unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds to oxidize, creating byproducts that are harmful to human and animal health.
  3. The seeds are then processed with a petroleum-based solvent, such as hexane, to maximize the amount of oil extracted from them.
  4. Next, industrial seed oil manufacturers use chemicals to deodorize the oils, which have a very off-putting smell once extracted. The deodorization process produces trans fats, which are well known to be quite harmful to human health.
  5. Finally, more chemicals are added to improve the color of the industrial seed oils.
